11-Tale of blood and claws.

As promised, Takashi had a threesome that night.

Waking up with Saeko and Yuuki; both women sporting smiles that spoke of absolute satisfaction; cuddling at his sides, was the best fucking morning that Takashi could have expected. The night activities were wild, and not even in the wet dreams of Takashi had he ever imagined that he will be the protagonist of a freaking threesome with two of the hottest girls that Takashi knew.

Frankly, Takashi´s brain crashed a couple of times trying to process the fact that he was going to get laid with Yuuki AND Saeko at the same time. That kind of things only happened in porn movies and Takashi was utterly happy with Saeko as they were, this situation was something that Takashi did not expect at all.

Well, to be fair, Takashi had a conversation with Kohta about the harem that Takashi was building, but Takashi was at a loss of words and more than a bit confused. The only experience that Takashi had with girls was the disastrous relationship that he had with Rei and during all the time that Takashi had been with the orangette, the fear of hurting her was a constant drag on their relationship.

Curiously enough, Takashi never had that kind of doubts with Saeko. Even the first time that they laid together; in the bathtub and room of Marikawa-sensei´s house; Takashi only focused in the pleasure that Saeko and he shared, the perfection of her body and how god damn wonderful sounded his name when she screamed it in their throes of passion. Saeko was a bit of a screamer, who would have thought. Yuuki was a moaner, though; she was more interested in talking dirty than in screaming in pleasure, unfortunately for her, Takashi made her scream in orgasmic bliss at the end of the carnal activities that they shared that night.

One of the worries that Takashi and Saeko had beforehand, was how Takashi stamina was leagues above Saeko´s, how the Therianthrope would be left unsatisfied. During their romps; one in Marikawa-sensei´s house and the one at the Temple, Takashi only came twice, meanwhile, Saeko had so many orgasms that she lost count. It was wonderful to keep the number of condoms used in each passionate night at a limit, but it was unfair to both of them.

With the addition of Yuuki to their pleasure activities, the things started to balance a bit.

Yuuki really knew her stuff and her talented tongue was capable of making Takashi; and Saeko too, much to Takashi´s amazement and arousal; howl in lust. Sadly for the sensual lass, Takashi could and did, pound her into an orgasmic mess by the end of the four-hour romp that they had as soon as they reached a discrete enough room where to have their threesome.

The entire day has been a complete pain in the ass for all the pack. From the battle for survival to the sudden EMP over the city to the loss of all electric appliances, to the hunt of Takashi, to the discussion with Saya´s parents; it was a long list of migraines in less than 24 hours. For an eclectic bunch of teenagers that not even 72 hours before their only worry was mid-term exams, they were enduring it surprisingly well.

Sure enough, more than once, they blamed their "pack thing", as Morita eloquently put it, in order to justify the absolute calmness and straightforwardness of their minds and tempers, in front of the disaster that has shattered the country, and surely the rest of the world. Whatever is behind this zombie apocalypse scenario much be one seriously screwed up people, organization or whatever. So far, none has provided an explanation that had an iota of sense; maybe in a better scenario and with a medical lab backing up some serious investigation, will the people know what the heck has happened, but for the moment, survival is the name of the game.

Takashi, much to his shame, had to admit that the biting of a bunch of zombies was precisely the thing that set his powers straight. For the scarce information that Magnus has dropped; the bastard was cryptic and relatively unhelpful most of the times; in time, Takashi would have recovered. The bite only hyper-accelerated the process, as Takashi´s body fought whatever Them carried, in order to do that, his powers went into overdrive and repaired everything.

Shuffling in the bed a little, taking a more comfortable position without molesting the two goddesses sleeping at his sides; Takashi eyed the corner of the window, realizing that it was not yet the sunrise, judging from the clarity of the sky night, it will soon come the sunrise, but not yet. It suits Takashi just fine, resting his body between the warm body of two gorgeous women that loved him was hardly a chore.

Love.

That was a word that Takashi was still struggling to grasp. In Saeko´s case, it was the absolute truth, they can not live without the other, and that was a surprise considering that they had barely known each other; beyond names and sharing school; for more than a week at most. But Takashi loved her, loved her fully and without a shred of doubt, a burning passion and emotion that Saeko shared wholeheartedly.

The thing is, that Takashi was not entirely sure that he could claim the same with Yuuki and Hayashi-sensei, heck, Takashi didn't even dare to touch the topic about Saya, and Rei...well, Rei was a clusterfuck on her own.

Never in his bloody life, would have Takashi even dared to ponder what kind of problems having a harem entailed. How could he? Takashi was fortunate enough to have a girlfriend in Rei, and see how well did that shit ended. Having the kind of problems that Takashi had, the fear of actually hurting his girlfriend, unable to control his strength in the middle of the lovemaking, was something that pretty sure crippled his relationship with Rei. That and whatever happened that made her broke with him and run to Igou.

Yuuki has been completely vocal and open in her desire to get in Takashi´s pants and for what Takashi understood of her and Saeko body languages, Saeko knew and relatively approved of Yuuki´s quest, if anything else, because the two of them were more than enough to satisfy Takashi in the sack. It was crazy, the kind of awesome and confusing crazy, though.

The experimented about two girls more than eager to made Takashi howl, ended in a relatively positive note, but despite how they have managed to satisfy Takashi, the two girls were out like a light after four hours and Takashi was clearly still ready to go, containing himself, in order of never hurt any of the girls.

Yuuki´s last thoughts were a mixture of orgasmic bliss, satisfaction beyond words, joy, a bit of frustration for being played like a fiddle, pride for making Takashi howl in pleasure; along Saeko, who was a great laid by the way; and the rational side of her stating the facts that more females are needed in order to made Wolfie Jr stand down. The orangette girl had found what she has been looking for all her life, and by all that was sacred to her, she was going to embrace it with a smile.

So, that´s how Takashi ended up getting laid that night with two absolutely gorgeous ladies. The problem was that Takashi was not entirely sure if he should call Yuuki his girlfriend too, with Saeko, girlfriend is selling it short, soul-mate would be more appropriate. Magnus said something about Alpha-female or Alpha-mate, saying that as soon as Takashi will find her, they could not get enough of each other; the bastard was completely right, by the way. But nothing in that conversation spoke about more females and how to deal with such an event.

Japanese society was not precisely open in that regard, sure, there are exceptions and circumstances, but Japanese people were monogamous in general. Once the marriage; ceremony or documents, it matters little; has taken place, cheating your other half was something seriously frown upon. Takashi; and by extension, all of the teenagers in Fujimi Academy; has been taught that way. With such a mindset, Takashi was positively confused about what to do now that he had two girlfriends?.

Sighing mentally; not really wanting to disturb the peaceful sleep of the ladies; Takashi let go of his thoughts about his convoluted love life and focused on what the heck do from now on.

The pack already had a discussion about what would be their destiny from then on. All of the members of the pack add their little two cents to the conversation; even the Omegas, as Yuuki called Rei and Igou; arguing the pro and the cons of traveling to the forest and mountains surrounding the city or to pick up a boat and occupy an island near the coast. Takashi pondered about the ideas that bounced between the pack that day, even Magnus added his own, despite being abundantly clear that he was not part of the pack and only Marikawa-sensei presence was that kept him around.

The older Therianthrope was too fond of trolling, but the truth was that Takashi owned him a lot.

The mountains around the city were a spot that a younger Takashi loved, the relatively conserved nature around the place resonated with Takashi, but when Takashi was attacked by an unknown Therianthrope looking to stole Takashi´s power, Takashi feared that mountain. Now that Takashi was a full-fledged Therianthrope and that has actually beaten an abomination like the one in the river, Takashi felt that the mountains and forests around the city could actually be a good option for the survival of his pack. Especially if the old castles of the Edo Period are still around and could be used again.

The other option was to move the pack to one of the islands around the coast. For what Takashi remembered, the island was on the most part abandoned. With the apparition of the floating airport, a lot of the coastal villages; tourism and fishing oriented all of them; around the coast were abandoned because of the traffic and noise of the Airport. With the EMP that has exploded right over their heads, they will be no air traffic in quite a while.

The problem was the same in both cases, energy and habitability. The apocalypse has blindsided the entire world, things that were taken for granted are no longer available, make it double the problem when the EMP hit the atmosphere and send the entire city back to the steam age, if not the stone age. All tech on the city worked on electricity, finding anything not computer controlled or based on the chips that the EMP has fried was going to be quite the challenge. Not to mention heating and plumbing, those two are the basis of modern civilization.

On the mountains, Takashi was sure that foraging would be relatively easy, with the absence of pesky humans, nature would start to gain terrain. One of the things that Takashi noticed on that front, was how Them did not care about Zeke. The barks and bites of the small dog were ignored by Them. If that applies to the fauna of the mountain, that would mean that the pack will have a possible source of food, always watching for parasites on their flesh and ticks on their furs.

Life was not a videogame and hunting, depending on what kind of game you are after, is not that easy. Takashi was convinced that his status as Therianthrope will make him the "king of the mountain" so to speak, but having the strength does not necessary means that he had the skills. Hunting is not that easy, and even if Takashi was able to pursue and kill a boar or a deer, skinning it was beyond his knowledge. Another thing that Takashi would have to look out in books, especially now that electricity was down and the internet was beyond his reach.

Like any other modern teenager, Takashi would have look out for any knowledge on the internet, but with the EMP that has blasted to oblivion all electronic apparatus, right now, libraries were the only deposit of knowledge around, if you don't have an expert on that topic available at hand. Among Takashi´s pack, Takashi knew that Morita and Kohta had some survival skills, one for his own experience to reach month´s end and the other because of his own training with a former Black Water employee. The two friends of Takashi were precisely the kind of people that the Therianthrope was delighted to have in this kind of pinch, and Takashi counted his lucky stars that his pack was so dependable and capable.

Considering that the pack will have to stay in the manor, at last, a day more; with Hayashi-sensei wounded like that it was impossible to move the woman around without risking worsening the wound; Takashi will run his thought with the rest of the pack during the day. After the stressful day that was yesterday and the arrival of the blue-haired policewoman to the manor with the news about another group of survivors in the nearby mall, Takashi knew that the majority of the people in the manor will move out to the power station in the outskirts by midday.

Takashi had the irking sensation that the policewoman tale of what happened during the day after Takashi went after Shido and his minions, will work against Takashi. It was something that Takashi was not proud of, but in order to save Hayashi-sensei, Takashi had to dirty his hands with the blood of the cretins that hurt her. More than once Takashi feared that his morals are taking a turn for the worst, but in an apocalypse and with the instincts of a Therianthrope blaring like horns constantly, any retrospection that Takashi could try to do about himself was cut short by the necessity of survival.

Anyhow, leaving mental masturbation apart; something that Takashi felt he was doing more and more lately; Takashi decided that the origin of his problems could be the solution for his pack.

Back to the very same place that cursed him, with luck, Takashi would find the bastard that wounded him, almost cripple him, and could take revenge on him. With the added bonus of becoming the Alpha of the mountain and cleaning it off the bigger menace for his pack that could dwell in the place.

In the mountain, Takashi enhanced body and senses would be at home, clean of the polluted air of the city and within the boundaries of the forest, Takashi will be able to protect his pack and made them thrive, safe from Them, any other assholes like Shido or an abomination like the one that ambushed him and Saeko at the river.

The combat with the abomination was far more dangerous and brutal that Takashi expected, without Saeko´s presence, Takashi could have lost, taken by surprise by the monster and almost with his arm and shoulder tore out of his body by the twisted and deformed jaws of the abomination. It was one of the things that Takashi wanted Magnus to ask about, but as always, something came first and the questions get postponed in the "To do later" list. It was a very long list, and it has been not even three or four days since Takashi become a full-fledged Therianthrope.

To be completely honest with himself, Takashi was fearing for the day when the reality hit him like a train and made him freak out. Thanks to the Therianthrope and pack thing that Magnus told him about, the worst of any possible panic attack is being swept under the rug, something that Takashi was utterly grateful for; the last thing Takashi needed was to deal with the panic attack of anyone of his pack.

A movement on Takashi´s right side called his attention, Saeko´s eyes were fluttering, signaling the awakening of the purple haired swordswoman.

"Good morning love", smiled Takashi to the yawning Saeko, "the sun has not risen yet, but soon will".

"Hmm", Saeko raised her head and kissed Takashi tenderly, a sweet moment between the two, sharing more in that kiss than in a thousand words.

Reluctantly, she retired her lips; leaving a thick trail of saliva hanging in the air; and turn her gaze to the slumbering yet thoroughly satisfied Yuuki at the left side of Takashi. With the memories of the night coming to her in full force, so did a massive blush, making her choke on a squeal and grab the blankets with extra force. Takashi kept smiling like an idiot, still lingering in the sweet kiss they have shared.

"She is quite bold", neutrally commented Saeko, still in full blush.

"You tell me", nodded Takashi, "she has done things to both of us that I would have never contemplated outside of my wildest wet dreams".

"It mortifies me to admit that I craved for her ministrations before you hammered my core and send me to heaven", Saeko hides her adorably blushing face in the muscular torso of Takashi; who was doing all he could to do not chuckle, Takashi was blushing a storm as much as Saeko.

"You are not the only one", Takashi hugged Saeko, caressing her hair, Takashi loved Saeko´s hair. "She is quite flexible, knows her stuff and her tongue is a work of art", resumed Takashi. "You and I are little more than blushing virgins compared to her".

"Don't take me wrong", added Takashi frowning for a second, "I am not calling her a slut or anything like that, I will never disrespect her like that; is just that she is way more experienced in carnal affairs that both of us combined", shrugged Takashi. "It still baffles me that she likes me like that".

"She is not the only one that looks at you that way….". Grumbled Saeko under her breath and Takashi preferred Not to touch the particular topic of the harem at the moment.

Saeko and Yuuki were more than enough right now, on a more safe environment, Takashi would bite the bullet of the women that wanted a piece of him. Preferably behind safe walls and after clearing any of Them in miles. But a question must be made before it root and festers. Emotions running wild and dampening judgment was as dangerous as any of Them.

Leaving apart the little problem of the harem that Takashi was collecting; much to his own amazement; there is the matter of the new direction of the pack and who is pack and who is not. Takashi knew that this very morning, the vast majority of the inhabitants of the manor are going to move to the evacuation site or the electric dam that there is at the edges of the town. In Takashi´s opinion, the dam was not a bad idea actually. Freshwater, fish, electricity and a relatively safe environment with concrete and metallic fences; it was a safe place, however, it would require constant and specialized maintenance, something that did not seem to abound these days.

With luck, those that went to the dam will find more survivors, perhaps even local workers bunkering there, and will manage to made a nice dig for the apocalypse. Takashi has already considered such thoughts, but wanted to run them with Saeko and Saya; Takashi was clever enough to know that Saya had way more brains than him and could see what he could not.

On the topic of who is pack and who is not, there resided quite the problem. Of some, Takashi had zero doubts. Yuuki, Saya, Kohta, Morita, Hayashi-sensei; Takashi knew beyond doubt that those were pack. The problems were Rei and Igou. Sure, they had done nothing to damage the pack, but they were always cautious, circling around, not entirely participating, but not leaving either. Yuuki has called them strays, Omegas, the lowest of the pack. Takashi could buy that, Rei was his first love after all, and that was something that was not all that easily forgotten; heck, even despite their treason, when Rei and Igou started to date each other behind the backs of Takashi; Takashi still remembered that Igou was one of the few that treated him like a person when the rest of the kids around treated him like he was the devil incarnate or a cripple.

Those were not good days.

Takashi noticed the eyes of Saeko on him and he turned his eyes to her. Morita has already joked more than once about the telepathy thingy that the Alphas of the pack seemed to share, and despite being a joke, there was a grain of truth in the words of Morita. It was not entirely telepathy, it was a bit different; it was something deeper, something that joined her in a level that it was impossible to describe with words.

Saeko and Takashi stare at each other eyes for a bit and then Saeko kissed Takashi again, a soft, tender kiss; as if she was consoling the teenager for something that only they knew. Takashi had to do difficult things to bring back the medicines that Marikawa-sensei needed to give Hayashi-sensei a chance to survive the attack that the mooks of Shido inflicted on her. Shido wanted vengeance over Takashi and his pack, and thanks to his brainwashed idiots, the man almost killed Hayashi-sensei.

Takashi hunted them and took the medicines back.

Saeko knew that Takashi hunted them, hunted, not chase, not beat and recover, no, Hunted them. Like prey, Takashi has hunted and exterminated Shido and the rest of his minions and through the link that they shared, now Saeko knew of the turmoil of emotions that Takashi had on the matter.

"I really wanted to be able to do that too", spoke the yawning voice of Yuuki, coming from the side of Takashi. "Do not take me wrong, seeing you too make out is hot, but I need words to understand what´s wrong with our sweet wolfie".

"Yuuki", growled Saeko, begrudgingly separating her lips from Takashi.

"Come on love", waved Yuuki, dismissing the growl of Saeko, "you are the one capable of having an entire conversation with Takashi just with a stare, the rest of the ladies that wanted Takashi vitamin are not that lucky".

Yuuki grabbed Takashi´s head and turned to her, kissing him too. It was curious how different the kisses of Saeko and Yuuki were. Saeko was all about connection and intimacy, meanwhile, Yuuki was all about sensual pleasure and passion. However, this time Yuuki did kiss Takashi in more than just passionate battle of tongues. For the glare that they have shared when Yuuki was awakening, something really wrong must have happened to Takashi before he reached the Takagi State with the medicines they needed for Marikawa-sensei.

"Tell us, wolfie", maybe Yuuki mocked Takashi, but the worry and care in her tone were impossible to hide from someone like Takashi.

Takashi sighed and taking a more comfortable position on the bedpost; something that two girls took advantage to cuddle more comfortably with her favorite Therianthrope; ordered his thought and started to relate what happened just after he found the blue-haired policewoman and how did Takashi found Shido and what Takashi did to all of them.

"It's not a pretty tale", sighed Takashi again, one of his hands went to the hair of Saeko and the other to the waist of Yuuki. The boy instinctual knew what they liked for cuddling.

"Not long after I rescued officer Matsuhima of a bunch of Them", started the tale Takashi, "and discover about a Mall with some survivors on it; later I will tell you about it; I found the tracks of Shido and his group".

"For what I could understand, the explosion that fucked up all electronics hit them like a train too, making them had an accident with the bus and leave a lot of supplies sprawled all over the concrete of the road. I left the officer near the supplies, on an elevated location, to see if she could found something useful; the vast majority of the horde of Them has listened to me and Magnus roar and there was not a lot of Them nearby".

"Them are not interested in the supplies on the road, neither I was, once if saw that the medicines that Marikawa-sensei described me where not on the floor or in the broken trunk of the bus. I still don't have an idea of what happened, but I will make some wild guess and say that the driver lost control of the bus and ended up smashing against a concrete barricade of those that loitered the roads up the state".

Peeking over the healthy skin of the waist of Yuuki, the hand of Takashi took the claws of his fingers out.

"Seeing the damages of the sides of the bus, at the beginning I was scared that they have found another monster like the one that we killed at the riverbank", Saeko winced, that battle has been too close to comfort. Yuuki raised an eyebrow but said nothing, the pack knew that Takashi and Saeko had an encounter with a nightmare made flesh, but none of them had explained much beyond the fact that it has been difficult and extremely painful for Takashi.

"But it was my paranoia speaking", continued Takashi, setting his hand over the hip of Yuuki. "There were enough of Them to be dangerous for Officer Matsuhima to come with me, so she kept an eye on the supplies and waited on a safe spot for my return. I had promised her that I would bring her to a safe place and I was going to keep my promise".

"In the very same wreckage of the bus and the concrete block, I found the broken corpse of one of the idiots that followed Shido; after they made out of the bus, this poor sucker was the slowest and Them chewed him to pieces; there was not enough of him to become one of Them but allowed me made a guess about what could be the destination of Shido and the rest".

Takashi growled softly and his body tensed and flinched in phantom pains. Both girls noticed that, but said nothing and let Takashi tell the tale at his own pace. It was clear that Takashi had found some inconveniences during the afternoon and evening that they have been apart. One that had made his body suffer; after seeing the kind of carnage and punishment that a Therianthrope like him could dish out, the girls knew that whatever happened, was not a pretty sight.

"Of all the places that those fuckers could have taken refuge, they managed to found refuge in the hunting shop of crazy Saito", Takashi frowned and grimaced at the same time, a gesture that was not corresponded by the girls, that were not from the same neighborhood and Takashi and did not get the reference. However, they did wince, as part of the hunting shop was clear to them.

"I have never feared crazy Saito", explained Takashi to his lovers, "point, in fact, the old man was one of the few people that did not give a shit about my eccentricities and just kept a safe distance from me. It was not precisely friendly, but the man respected me and gave me space; not that I think about it, it is possible that crazy Saito had an inkling of what I really was, that was why he was always leaving me alone, he knew that provoking me was not a good idea".

"Anyhow, Saito was a former JDF member, part of a mountain corps of some kind; later I will have to ask Kohta, to see if he had an idea about what unit could fit; after his retirement, he opened a hunting shop, here in the neighborhood and supplied with hunting gear to a lot of wannabee hunters that went to the mountain looking for deer or boars. More than once I did hear about how little did he thought about the "hunters" that came and go from his shop".

"The problem was that Saito had a real weapon, I saw and unfortunately, Shido and the rest of his followers managed to slip inside the bloody store and arm themselves with whatever they could found. By the time that I managed to track their smell and the few clues that they have left on their wake, they have already bunkered inside the hunting shop".

"The place had only one entrance, they had down the metallic shutter and set up something akin to a camp inside. The building was exactly the same as the other thousands that form the residential area of the neighborhood; the entire lower plant of the building was made of small business, all closed or crawling with Them; and from the first floor up, it was all apartments and flats".

"I had a nice view of the main street in front of the shop and I could tell, by the smell and the sounds, that Shido was not happy. I counted about ten or so of his followers, and by the smell, I identify some females. One of the things that I hate of my enhanced senses, is that I smell everything, and the females had the smell of All the males over them. I don't even want to know what the fuck was wrong with them".

Takashi hugged his lovers and they reciprocated the gesture; Yuuki especially, she had joined the pack of Takashi almost of a whim, guided by her guts about how a magnificent piece of a hunk Takashi was, and by the gods that Yuuki has got the fucking jackpot, considering what she was listening. Yuuki knew some of the girls in that group; she could even say that some of them could even be called friends, but Yuuki knew that her clique was not precisely the sanest one. Yuuki had the fame of being a slut, a very promiscuous lass that had more boy-toys than underwear. All false of course, but the rumor mill was an inevitable consequence of all High Schools.

Yuuki smell the bullshit of Shido a mile away, at the beginning she feared that it was the way of the man or the high way; filled to the brim with Them, but once the option of Takashi and the pack were in the table, Yuuki could not have signed fast enough.

"For the life of me, I can not even fathom what on earth was Shido telling them to have them eating from his hand", whispered Takashi, relaxing a bit, "I stalked the place for a bit, looking out for entrances that did not include me being shot several times, but the place was locked up good and I didn't see an entrance, worse enough, one of the fuckers of Shido managed to catch a glimpse of me when I was jumping over a wall; barely a freaking second, but it was enough. They knew that I was around and they planned in consequence".

"My plan", snorted Takashi in self-deprecation, "for calling it something, was around the lines of running to the shutter, rip it apart and butcher them before they even had the time for reaching for their new guns. Still, I knew that Shido was a vindictive bitch and would have shot to the medicine bags before me, just to spite me. I needed to get the medicine before I could kill any of them, the safety of Hayashi-sensei was primordial".

"I climbed the nearest side of the building and clawed my way against any of Them that I could find. I was a bit torn about how I was relieved that I did not found any more survivors and the horror about how the entire building was filled to the brim with Them. If I had found survivors, I would have carried back to Officer Matsuhima and made them wait until I have finished my business, but that would have taken me hours of coming and going. That´s why I was torn between relief and worry about dealing with way too many of Them".

"The battle at the entrance of the Takagi state has shown me that I am even more bloody dangerous that I thought, within the residential building, cleaning Them was a chore more than a danger, they can not surround me and I could claw and tear Them at my freaking leisure. I lost count when I reached the first hundred of Them that I torn apart. I lost the sense of smell and taste due to the putrid aroma of the fool blood and innards that Them splattered all over walls, floors, and my fur".

"In hindsight, clearing out the building was something stupid to do; I lost time and my sense of smell, but I wanted free movement all over the shop. I had a stupid plan and I was going to execute it, also, the echoes of the carnage and the constant moan and grunt of Them all over the shop would make Shido and his followers very nervous, just how I wanted them, scared and nervous".

"Unfortunately, I did not know that they were already waiting for me, but I discovered it later and took several bullets to the face and chest for that", Takashi felt how the gorgeous bodies of his two lovers hugged him in response for those words and Takashi hugged them back, trying to confer emotions through the gesture. Takashi´s healing powers were more than enough to deal with the damage, although, at the moment, it was painful as hell and a complete nuisance.

"With the building mostly cleared; I even took some time to clean myself up with some water that I found in an office, being covered in chunks and crusts of blood of Them was not pleasant at all; I dragged some of the corpses and throw then from above, in front of the metallic shutters of the shop".

"The corpse fall and landed with a wet splat all over the pavement, yet, they did not shot a single bullet; that only embolden me, make me believe that I had them scared shitless, I was totally wrong but later I discover how wrong I was".

"Without Them in the building, I slipped into the back door of the shop, I knew of the existence of the back door, and I was pretty sure that they will have someone watching over the place. From the fire exit of the building, I was sure that I could snatch the watcher and kill them before they could even blink".

"Yes, I admit that at the moment I was more than eager to kill them. For the first time since all this bullshit has started, and I was not raging like a mad beast".

Takashi made reference to his episode when he saved Saya and how he did not care three fucks about the asshole in the gasoline shop; this was different in the sense that Takashi was no longer at odds with himself and he was coldly speaking about killing people. It was a bit of a difference this time. However, none of the girls made the slightest comment and instead they snuggled closer and caressed the muscles of Takashi; showing the boy that he was not alone and that they loved him all the more.

"There was no watcher, and that should have told me that something was wrong with the scene, but I was already salivating at the ideas of ripping Shido a new one for what he did to Hayashi-sensei, so I was a bit careless. Also, I did not learn of my own mistakes and I was still riding high on the massacre at the entrance of the Takagi state, I was confident on my strength and capability to endure anything that they could have inside".

"Not high enough in my own power, I was still conscious that they must have some kind of watch or something, a trap, whatever. I could not see or hear anything; my sense of smell was still busted; so I circled the place a couple of times, trying to peek over the shutter of the shop for weapons or anything. I knew that they had weapons inside, Saito had some big ass hunting rifles, I saw them, and I seriously doubted that they have not taken them".

"Thanks to Kohta; he is a real friend; I had a lot more respect for guns that I had before. I was very conscious that Them were not much of a threat to me; they are dangerous and in enough numbers, they could kill me, yes, but I after the battle, Them did not scare me all that much. The mere idea of any of you being bitten scared me shitless, though. The thing is, I knew that a hunting rifle to the face could blast my head and I was not eager to test if I could heal of a decapitation".

"I could hear them; thank god, I could no longer smell them, they smell of rancid sex was disgusting; but I can not see them through the metal shutters of the shop. Like it or not, I had to admit that they have chosen a very good place to bunk. Crazy Saito´s shop was a small bunker on itself, in other circumstances, that place would have been one of my choosing for rest and recover before moving on".

"My final choice was the backdoor, I was confident that I could rip the reinforced door and blitz my way inside. They were about ten or so, I could ear their muddled voices and I was sure that Them had taken their toll before they reached the hunting shop".

"The door itself was not something that worried me; in fact, I would have torn the shutters apart, but with rifles waiting for me at the other side, it would be stupid to suck bullets like that; I knew that I could easily claw the hinges and rip the door from its frame, with luck, they will be paying attention to the front entrance and I will catch them with their pants down".

"Luck was not on my side", snorted Takashi, "as I planned, I jumped down the first floor to the ground, an easy feat for me now, and I clawed the hinges of the door with two quick swipes; as quick as I could, I kicked the door, hoping to take anyone on watch on the other side by surprise".

"The door fall to the ground and I rushed in, just in time to take several shots to the face and torso", grunted Takashi signaling with one of his hands where the bullets managed to hit him.

Right now, there was healthy flesh on place, the healing powers of Takashi had already taken care of the problem, in fact, his wounds healed at the very same moment that the bullets bite his flesh. At that point, Takashi was surprised, but when the pain hit his brain, the rage pushed his healing into overdrive and by the end of the debacle, his wounds were already more than healed.

And those were some serious shots.

Takashi was hardly an expert on guns; thanks to Kohta Takashi had a slight idea of how to operate a gun, but that would be it; so the boy was not capable of identifying the weapons that the minions of Shido used against him. It also helped that neither they were precisely elite shooters and the shotguns and rifles were not capable of auto-fire. Still, seven bullets to torso and face where not something that easy to dismiss and Takashi had to admit that he was lucky that one of those potshots did not blast his head out of his shoulders.

"I saw it all red, again", Takashi hugged the girls closer, smelling their sweet smell, a balm for him, "and change into my more battle-oriented form, so to speak. In that state, I covered the distance that separated me from them and I start killing".

Takashi shut up, his memory was a bit hazy from that point on. His rage has taken the worst off him and turned him into an eight feet tall killing machine that has blitzed his way into the backdoor of the shop and let the blood and the carnage started. Did Takashi felt bad about it? Well, yes and no.

Takashi was not a bad boy, maybe his Therianthrope blood was speaking for him in most of the occasions but Takashi´s upbringing was actually pretty good. The lad was good, far better than it could be if his beast would be in control more often. But in this world, violence was a coin that could pay a lot of things, things that were vital for the survival of his pack. Exterminating anyone that harmed his pack was the line that Takashi had set for himself, and Shido and his minions crossed it voluntarily.

"I would have spared some of them you know?", confessed Takashi to the two girls, who kissed him tenderly in turns, supporting him with actions and not with words. "If any of them tossed their weapons and gave me the medicines, I would have spared them. They were so inconsequential that I only saw them as things, furniture at best. Now, Shido was another kettle of fish entirely, I was going to kill him, and I did".

"But I did kill all of them".

Takashi sighed, it was something that had to happen anyway, Shido would have never let his grudge go and the other idiots that followed him were so addicted to his leadership and words that they were a cult in the making. Was that an excuse? Perhaps, but Takashi will be dammed if, in order to walk around in a high horse, he let his pack suffer. Shido chooses his side of the fence and now, he paid the ultimate price for it.

"You all have seen me when my rage gets the better of me", Takashi smiled a bit warily, "and I will confess that the idea of that rage hurting any of you worries me".

"Never", said Saeko and Yuuki at the same time, speaking for the first time since Takashi started his tale.

"I know", Saeko stared at Takashi eyes as Yuuki kissed the chest of Takashi, just over his heart. "I know without a hint of a doubt that you will never, ever, hurt any of us".

The certainty, the absolute conviction of Saeko, left Takashi speechless. That absolute wonderful woman had more faith in Takashi that Takashi himself. So that´s what Magnus spoke about finding an alpha female, it was something that can not be explained in words, but that was worth every single second of it.

"Bad boy on the outside, the best softie on the inside", giggled Yuuki, caressing the muscles of Takashi.

Takashi smiled to the women, smiled from the bottom of his heart and rearranging his thoughts, explained what happened inside of the hunting shop.

"My strength is the stuff of nightmares. I can easily rip steel apart, and the minions of Shido are flesh and bone, not even unnaturally resilient and Them, so when I put my claws and fangs on them, I tore them to pieces in seconds. Male or female, at that point I did not care, I rip and tore until the work was done".

"Maybe because I took my time to really butcher however I put my claws on, but I take a lot more shots, however, none of them hurt as much and those that managed to wound me, only inflamed me more, making me turn my attention to the next piece of meat to be slaughtered. I finally managed to reach Shido".

"Shido", Takashi frowned at the memory, it was akin to a bad dejavu. "Shido took one of the girls, barely clothed and still covered in the blood and cum of the rest of her companions; and used her as a living shield. Shido had a big two barreled shotgun and I think that Shido was screeching something. I couldn't care less, I don't remember what he said, I did not care, I only wanted his blood".

"Shido could only shot once, the shot didn't even graze me before I grabbed his extended arm and clawed him and the girl in one savage swipe. My claws ripped her throat open, and a good chunk of her lower face, practically decapitating her in one strike and in the same swing, I rip the arm of Shido off".

"The fucker did not have much time to scream, I toss the arm and the corpse of the girl aside and close my jaws around his scrawny neck. I bite, I bite like my jaws were a bear trap and savagely shook him like a ragdoll. My teeth make him bleed and due to the pressure, I could feel how I was crunching his neck. I continued like that for a while, tearing his neck until with one final crunch, I crushed his vertebrae and bite his head off his shoulders".

"That was not the end, by the time that I managed to shook my head of the fury, the pain, I had already turned the insides of the shop into a slaughterhouse. The corpses of all of the minions of Shido were all over the place, there was not one of them in one piece, they were all sprawled all over the place. An arm here, a smashed head there, a torso with a limb still attached smashed against a piece of furniture in there, the spectacle was horrible".

"Much to my shame, I just took what I needed and left them there to root", concluded his tale Takashi. "I used another bottle of water of the office to clean as much of the blood and gore as I could and rendezvous with officer Matsuhima, she helped me to carry the medicines as I changed into my wolf form and made a bee-line to here, you know the rest, I jumped over the wall and found all of you talking".

"And that´s pretty much it", Takashi lowered his gaze, not really wanting to look his lovers into their eyes.

Takashi knew that he should felt something about the massacre that he had committed, it was not the same that with Them, these were not zombies or whatever. They were just idiots, guided by a bigger idiot, butchering them as Takashi did was a bit extreme. However, Takashi would have done the same a hundred times, if that means that Hayashi-sensei will be saved, that any of his pack will be safer.

The response of the two girls was definitely one non-verbal. Through kisses and caresses, Yuuki and Saeko showed Takashi their support and comfort. Alternately, Saeko and Yuuki claimed the lips of Takashi and without pause, they smothered Takashi with their warm and gorgeous bodies.

The young boy had to do nothing as Yuuki and Saeko showered him with their sweet attention. Kisses, caresses, subtle and delicate hands making Takashi hard muscles tense in anticipation of the amorous touch of his lovers. As Alpha, Saeko was the one that claimed the lips of Takashi, but Yuuki did not protest, she had "little wolfie" all for herself. Little was ironic by the way, Yuuki felt as her jaw would unhinge trying to service the massive manhood of Takashi.

For a while, Takashi let his lovers make him forget about what happened and indulged himself in the magnificent bodies of the girls. Sweet moans reached his ears and Takashi let the pleasure of the talented mouth of Yuuki overwhelm his senses, smiling at the wet sounds of her expert mouth making out with his member. Saeko and Takashi tongues battled in an exchange of saliva, as it has been said, they can not get enough of each other and when they are together, their hormones demanded intense and emotional sex.

As the sun peeked through the horizon, the orgasmic moans of Yuuki and Saeko received the morning light with unabashed happiness. Takashi was counting the lucky stars that he had such amazing women at his side and demonstrated it by thoroughly satisfying them both through their intense morning sex.

Now, this is an amazing way to salute a new day after a horrid yesterday.

Let's see what kind of curveball was coming his way.
